"Nobody's Love" | Momo x Male Reader

"Momo, the moon is beautiful, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is." , she said, also looking up to the dark sky where a full white shiny moon is clearly visible to the sky. You looked at side profile features and boy oh boy, she looks so perfect.

Her smile faded as her eyebrows starts to meet each other. Then she looked at you with curiousity in her face. "Wait, do you something... Y/N? You know that phrase is..."

"I am, and I did it on purpose.", you looked back on her.

"Y-Y/N, what are you implying at?", she turned you around, grasping your arm.

You breathe deeply then released it with the same amount too. You slowly looked up to Momo while maintaining your seriousness. "Before you leave Japan, I just want to finally do this. To... release something off my chest. I don't know how I will be able to keep this as a secret for you knowing that you won't gonna be near for a very long time.

I like you, Momo.", with that, her eyes widened slowly. She continued to watch and listen you speak as you pour it with all your heart.

I really do, since we entered high school I started to get attracted to you. I can't help it, it feels everything is fine when I'm with you. Just with the sight of you makes me feel like i'm in heaven. Now I wanna know, do you feel the same too?", you stared at her eyes as you wait for her to answer, and you were hoping that the answer you're expecting will come out of her mouth.

"Y-Y/N... I... I don't know...", Momo looked away, scratching her arm gently.

"What do you mean?", you confusedly asked her.

"I-I'm sorry but, I don't see you as something m-more, Y/N.", you heard that... and it felt like your heart is cracking up. Your face starts to crumple slowly, with your eyes getting teary while watching this woman you were dreaming to be with... turns out it will remain as a dream.

You were my friend, nothing changed. Forgive me, I don't want to break y-your-", she slowly turn her head back at you. She was embarassed that she is making you feel a thing you don't even want to feel from from her. She didn't want this, but hey... guess it's better to be honest than to lie to yourself.

"I-It's fine, atleast I got my answer now.", you forcefully smile at her, hiding all the pain behind in it. " I g-gotta go now... I need some time b-be alone, please.", you rotate your body, your back now facing hers. Before you start to run away, Momo asked you one last time.

"T-this will not ruin our friendship, right?"

TUT TUT TUT TUT TUT

Your eyes rapidly opened, making you stare at the ceiling to figure out what the hell did you just dreamed of. Feeling irritated at the repetitive sound of your alarm clock, you hastily pressed the off button.

You rubbed your eyes first before slowly sitting up from your bed. Alarms are pretty irritating sometimes but today, you were thankful that it woke you up... because what you just had in mind earlier isn't really that beautiful for you to remember at.

You stroke your hair gently before stepping away from the bed. You head to your kitchen to start preparing food right away.
----------------------------
"Y/N! ARE THEY LIVE NOW?", your friend Byung-han asked you. The way he did it was almost like he shouted with all his might, so you couldn't help but to distance your ear away from your phone a bit.

"Yeah, they only have 10 mins before the countdown.", you said while gluing your eyes at the huge screen in front of you, showing Youtube as it presents a live featuring your favorite K-Pop girl group TWICE as they were doing a premiere live for their 1st English Single called "The Feels".

"Aish, goddamnit. Stupid traffic won't let me enjoy this much.", you heard a loud thud behind the call. Actually it was Byung-han smacking the steering wheel in frustration.

"Hey, don't stress yourself, just watch their MV and I'm pretty damn sure you will forget that you're stuck in traffic.", you smirked, sipping your hot coffee.

"Well you're right though.", you heard him sigh. "Agh, fine. Still, being in the house with pure silence is much better."

"Where the hell did you went anyways?", you asked him because it made you think why is he stuck in the traffic right now.

"At the bank, withdrew some money.", he replied. "Alright gotta go, I'm gonna watch their live now too. Finally it's moving now.", you heard him start driving again.

"Enjoy dude."

"You too, bro.", after that, your friend ends the call. You placed the phone back at the table and then you continued to watch TWICE happily talking about something while the clock is running out.

But, your eyes can't help not to look away at Momo, she's just too damn gorgeous for you to leave your sight at her even if its just a short period of time.

5 minutes later, the music video has finally revealed. You watched the whole thing and oh god, you were drinking too much water especially when Momo appears on her parts. You lost it even more when she was wearing a crown on her head then she winked. You touched your chest to feel how your heart is abnormally beating.

Aside from how her and the other members' visuals shined the most, you were impressed at how the music video was made. It was so cutesy and bubbly which matches perfectly with the mood of the song, making it even more bop.
You always do observe focusedly on every details from the music videos you watch because in the present day, your job is actually a music video director.

You are learning too and when you got something useful in it, you're experimentally applying it on your future projects... as long as it fits and needed.

Some info about yourself here, you are a half Korean, half Japanese.
You are actually living in South Korea now along with your father. Your Mom who is a Japanese, passed away and your father decided to go back to the country where he was born and you respect her decision. After college you started to find a job based on your chosen career and with that, you finally got one.

You directed some other music videos from some well known K- Pop groups, hiring you by their agencies. Sadly, the one you wanted the most isn't part of them though... and you are still hoping that one day they will call you to work with them.

The agency you're referring to is JYP Entertainment and ofcourse, the group you want to work with is TWICE.

Well, mainly because the love of your life is part of them.

Hirai Momo. Your childhood bestfriend. Your longtime crush up until now.

You are proud of her on how far she reached on her journey. Seeing her accomplish her goal of being a K-Pop idol, ofcourse it makes you feel so happy for her.

But at the same time it saddens you, knowing the fact that this is the reason why you two didn't see each other anymore for 7 years.

Yeah, you two are both in Korea now but it doesn't mean that you can just approach her anytime. Ofcourse she's an idol and it's not easy to get close to her. She still has the privacy and reputation to protect and you don't want to ruin it just because you're missing her so much.

Back at what you're doing right now, you noticed something at the end of the music video. It shows a poster containing some announcements, all of them made you excited but there's one thing that made you interested the most.

"A 3rd Full Album this coming November?! Ooh so they have a comeback.", you gasped while reading the poster. You saw the social media going wild too at the announcement.

"I wish I could make a MV for them.", your face dropped as you start to imagine again, looking out of nowhere while stroking your chin with your thumb and index finger.
----------------------------
5 DAYS LATER

"Boya boya boya know... I know y- now what.", your sing-along plus dancing on "The Feels" got interrupted when it stopped due to a incoming phone cell from someone. You grabbed your phone, wanting to know who called you.

But in your disappointment, the number isn't familiar to you. That made you curious.

You just answered it instead to check who is this. "Hello, who's this?"

"Good morning, I am Bae Hae-soo, a staff of JYP Entertainment. If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr. Y/N L/N, a music video director sir; right?", the feminine voice behind the call said. It made you froze on your position when you heard the name of the agency.

"Y-yeah I am... wait, JYP Entertainment as in... the company that is owned by JYP himself? The Asiansoul?!", you panickedly asked. You can't believe what is going on. You were just wishing days ago and now it seems like it will finally be granted.

" Yes sir. "

"Is this a prank or something?"

"No sir, this is true.", Haesoon still calmly answered. You kept your composure as you let her talk.

"I would like to ask you if you are available to visit the building this Saturday at 3PM? Mr. Park Jinyoung would want to meet you to discuss about something important.", you felt like your going crazier now as you heard the mention of the boss too. Yeah, it is really happening... but you wonder if its gonna be what you're expecting.

"Sure. Sure, I'm in. Tell him to expect me on his office this weekend.", you said with full of energy, huge grin appearing in your face.

"Glad to hear, sir! I will inform him about this. Have a nice day!", she said before ending the call. After that, you went jumping in glee on your couch; as you finally taste the success of having one of your wish coming true.

You are finally be working for JYP Entertainment!!!

But your fun didn't last long when you immediately stopped, saving the rest for the next time after you learn what will be your task for the agency.

"What would be my next project this time?"
------------------------------------
SATURDAY

You just arrived in front of JYP Entertainment. Gotta say, it feels surreal to see yourself standing here. You looked up to view the towering structure. It made you amazed knowing Momo works in here.

You entered the building then you walked to the assist section first to ask your concern.

"Hello sir, how can I help you?", the female staff asked you after she noticed you walking towards her.

"Hello, is Mr. Park Jinyoung here today? I have an appointment with him.", you also showed the email coming from Haesoo, informing you about the scheduled meeting.

"Name sir?"

"L/N Y/N.", then she starts typing on her keyboard. After a few seconds of searching for your name, she speaks again.

"I see. Okay sir you're good to go, sir.", you smiled at that. "Just take an elevator and go to level 5. Find a black door that has a namecard pasted on it with his name. That's his office.", she said as she demonstrating the directions.

"Got it, thanks.", you nodded at her and she gave you a "no problem" response with a warm smile before you went next to the elevator.

After reaching level 5, you start to wander around the hallways as you look for JYP's office. It didn't took long for you to find it when you stopped in front of a door that stoods out from the rest of the doors of the rooms around here. Just like what the helper said too, it has a placard with his name in it too.

You knocked on the door 3 times and with that, you heard a voice shouting "come in" from inside. You slowly opened the door and there you saw JYP writing something on his notepad.

"Good afternoon, sir. It's nice to meet you, Mr. JYP.", you shyly greeted first. JYP stopped writing as he starts to stood up from his seat to welcome you.

"Good afternoom to you too, Mr. L/N.I'm so grateful that you spared some time for us to have a talk.", he said, offering you a handshake and you willingly accepted it. He also gave you that smile you always see from him everywhere. "Please, take a seat.", you followed and you sat on his comfortable chair for guests.

"Well, I'm free these days. Nothing much work being offered. Why do you want me here, sir? Mind if I ask?"

"I have a girl group in my company that is having a comeback this November. It's a third full album-"

"Oh my god, is it TWICE?", you quickly imterrupted JYP which made him flinch in shock at you sudden action. You felt really embarassed, knowing how disrespectful for you to do that on one of the biggest Korean superstars in history. "Sorry sorry I.. I'm a huge ONCE thats why I know.", you scratched your nape.

JYP then chuckled after, looking at your embarassed sight. "No no it's ok, I liked it. Atleast I have another reason too why I chose the right one for this project.", he waved it off at you.

"P-project?", you asked for clarification.

"So for their album, they are now prepared. Songs, album copies, dance choreos, but they only have one lacking left that definitely suits for you.", then he paused for a second. "Guess what it is."

"Music video?"

"Correct!", he tapped his ballpen. " Now that leads us to the main point of our conversation today. We searched for someone who could be a director for the music video of their lead single titled "SCIENTIST" and I heard you are a rising star at this career, based from what I saw of your works from other groups... I must say I can't blame them for saying things like that.", JYP said as he showed you some pictures showing positive responses from the fans praising what they just saw in your works. He even listed the artists and groups you collaborated with so far.

"That made me interested of you so I would want to choose you as the music video director for TWICE's single.", JYP said, clasping his hands then placing them on top of the desk while looking at you straight in the eye.

"O-oh my god, I-it would be a great honor t-to work for one of the most successful groups in the history of K-Pop. THE NATION'S GIRL GROUP, THEY SAY.", you acted like you are getting dizzy, placing the tips of your fingers on the sides of your head.
"This is a big blessing and opportunity for me! I accept, sir. I really do.", you looked back ay JYP whose smile is still not disappearing from his face.

"That was easy.", he chuckled again. "Well then, thank youand welcome to my entertainment. Don't worry, you'll have fun working with them, Y/N. I swear what you see in camera is just like them in real life. My 'daughters' have the purest hearts you will ever witness.", he confidently said.

"I know sir. Oh haha... yeah, it will be fun.", your smile went down a bit as you remembered that you will finally get to see Momo after many years of not meeting her since that awful moment you two had. You really want to see her but knowing how you two said goodbye to each other and how she made you feel before she left you for a long time still gets in your mind.

"Thank you really again, Mr. Y/N. I appreciated all of this. Don't worry, you'll get the amount of money you deserve after the MV has been released.", JYP said. The two of you stand up again, shaking each others hand to seal the deal.

You exit JYP's office, ending your schedule with him for today. Mixed reactions are getting into you but you're trying to get rid of the negative side and instead focus on the most important part which is getting a glimpse of one of your most favorite views to look at: the outstanding figure of Hirai Momo.

Before you walk out of the building, you saw a picture frame containing a group photo of TWICE during their Alcohol- Free era. You saw Momo in the picture, putting a smile on your face.

"I can't wait to see you again, peach.", you murmured to yourself.
------------------------------
The day has finally come and it is the first day already for the shooting of SCIENTIST MV. You arrived at the set with your crew preparing the equipments for the filming. While you help the others on what they're doing, a short haired woman wearing all black approaches you, stopping her tracks behind you.

"Mr. L/N, the girls are already here.", she pointed at the door where you saw Jihyo , Jeongyeon and Nayeon entered the set first, followed by the rest.

And there, you finally saw her, breaking the streak of not seeing her in person.

All you can say to yourself right now is she looks so damn gorgeous. Her looks really leveled up after she finally became an idol.

Her attention turned to you while they prepare a horizontal line in your front. Her eyes squinted while looking at you, as if she's checking you or something.

Your eyes widened at that. You gulped hardly as the nervous and anxious feeling striked you out of nowhere.

"Na dul set!, one in a million annyeonghaseyo, TWICE imnida!", they bowed their heads at you. "It's nice to meet you, director-nim!", they said cheerfully.

"I am Y/N L/N, your music video director for SCIENTIST. It's nice to meet you too, T-TWICE. I am a ONCE by the way, that's why.", you scratched your nape, looking away from them while they laughed at how adorable you looked.

"I want us to be comfortable at each so- j-just call my name if you girls want."

"Sure, Y/N!", they all answered again. You may think all of them are speaking in sync but there's actually one who doesn't move her mouth right after you revealed your name to them.

She recognized you now as her childhood friend she used to have before back in Japan days and as the first man she broke a heart. She just keeps on watching you, in disbelief that you're actually here in Korea.

"Who's your bias then?", Sana asked you, smirking. You became even more shy and nervous to tell them.

"I love all of you girls but...

Momo is my bias.", you gave a quick look at Momo who became even more speechless. Her jaw is slightly dropped and that's what made the other members tease her.

"Ooh did you hear that, Momoring? You have a fan here.", Nayeon says to Momo.

"She's too stunned I guess, hey don't blush!", Jeongyeon noticed Momo's pinkish cheeks turning red.

"H-huh? No i-it's a misunderstanding."

"Alright, now go prepare yourselves so that we can finally start", you said to them then gave a nod with a smile at the end of your words. They followed their staff onto the dressing room. Before they vanish on your sight for a while, you noticed Momo turn her head at you while having that warm smile you always loved from her.

"This is gonna be one hell of a day.", you thought to yourself.
--------------------------
It's now breaktime and you just took out your lunch out of the bag. You didn't prefer to eat other foods because you already have one, something gave you the passion to cook for yourself today; you guess.

You sat at your black wooden chair and start taking a bite out of your delicious bibimbap.

While you're busy eating your own cooked lunch, you didn't noticed that someone was walking towards you, all smile on her face.

"Y/N?", you heard that familiar voice. You slowly raised up your head and prepared yourself to look at the owner of that voice.

You rotated your head on the side and the sight of Momo with her 'Break It' version outfit appears on your sight.

She looked so fine in red, you thought.

"Hey, Momo.", you gave her a smile. The eye contact still never leave each other.

"It's a long time no see.", she chuckles softly. Oh god, just seeing her doing everything makes you melt like a butter on a hot pan.

She walked even more closer to you and grabbed your right shoulder, you gulped hard at that. "Is this really you? Wow... y-you looked very well", she said while looking at you from head to toe.

"I-I could say the same too. You look so good today, Momo.", then she left you for a second to grab some chair. He then placed it beside you and sat through it. Now you two are sitting together.

"How many years it has been? Is it 2015 when I left Japan to train here?"

"Yeah it is.", you nodded, a small smile flashed on your face.

Momo then frowned, lowering her head a bit, looking at her lap. "I'm sorry if I need to left you. I didn't even had a time to contact you. I made you feel that I completely forgot about you.",she said in a low tone.

"Don't be, Momo.", you shook your head, still eating your food. After swallowing it, you continued to talk. "You're just chasing your dream. Sometimes, you have to sacrifice things to achieve something in life that you knew you wanted it for your future."

" Also, I'll admit I was kinda disappointed that you and I aren't talk anymore even if its just through calls or texts, but I get it. You are a K-Pop idol now and you have to focus on your activities with your group, now that you guys are a famous now even in the Western.", you looked at her who is still pouting, the guilt on what she did. You slowly risen up her head by lifting up her chin. "Don't be sad, c'mon don't let those moments ruin your vibe today."

"Our goodbye isn't that great, right?", you immediately halted. All those flashbacks runs on your mind so fast after she reminded you that.

That night at the beach.

One of the most hated moments you had.

But not because of her, its because of what happened to your heart back then.

Yet you can't even do anything because you can't even force her to love you back just to satisfy your needs.

While you froze, you're unaware already that you've been staring at Momo while still holding her chin. Anyone who can see you both might think already that there's something going on between you two.

So with that, Momo slowly removed your hand off her chin and that made you bring back to the reality.

"S-sorry... I got... uhm..", you tried to come up with some reasons but Momo interrupted you quick.

"Don't mind it.", she shook her head.

"Actually I- I was scared because I- I know you remembered that night and I thought you're going to be mad at me for dum-"

"Past is past, Momo. I already accepted it.", you said. You took the last bite of your food to finish it. " Don't worry we are fine. I would never let that ruin our friendship we built for so long.", you gave her an assuring smile.

"Thank you and sorry again, Y/N.", she grabbed your arm and slightly shaked it. You blushed at what she did.
"I promise you, now that we had our reunion today... we'll gonna have more time together again!!! I missed you so much, Y/N!!!", she proceeded by ruffling your hair after. You just huffed at the return of Momo you knew for years.

"I m-missed you too, Momo.", you shyly said to her, fixing your hair back again.

"Let's talk while there's still more time. I want us to catch up on everything that's happened in our lives inside that 7 years of not seeing each other.", Momo recommended.

"Not a problem to me.", you just shrugged and the two of you continued to talk.

Little did the two of you know that the other TWICE members are secretly watching you both suspiciously as they think that there is something going on between you two, especially to that part wherr you unconciously stared at her while holding her chin.

It looked like you were preparing to kiss her.
---------------------------
"I heard you had a boyfriend who's also part of K-Pop industry. How's he?", you asked her while sipping your iced cappucino coffee you bought from Starbucks.

"He's good. Too bad his attention is slowly going away from me. Not because of schedules by the way.", Momo said straightly.

"That's sad. It was 4 years isn't it? That was one hell of a relationship run."

"Yeah. I wished we could've reached longer you know... until the end?", the pain is now visible on Momo's face. "I really loved him, but sadly... we exist in this world where we are not meant for each other.", she sighed heavily.

You two went silent for a second to focus drinking on your respective drinks. It's already 2 mins left before you two return back at work.

Then, Momo decided to be one who breaks the silence as she came up with a new question. "How about you? Are you seeing some girl these days? Do you had a girlfriend now?", your expression changed from relaxed to tensed again.

"N-no, actually. I'm not interested."

"Why not? You should try it. You are a whole package anyways, such a waste if no one will experience how great of a boyfriend you will be.", Momo said it confidently.

And I want you to be the one who will experience it. No one else but you. You thought.

You don't know what to say next but glad thing that the bell saved you. It's now the time for the shooting to continue so you took it as a chance yo end your talk with her for today.

"Oh, time's up. Call the girls now, break's over. ", you quickly stood up from your seat, throwing your empty cup at the trash bin. Momo did the same.

"Okayyy... thanks for a nice talk, Y/N!", she hugged you tightly, burying her face on your clothing which made her voice muffled. You were completely stunned so you didn't able to hug her back. You just stood there like a statue.

She walked away to return back to her co-members, leaving you panicking inside.

You just received a hug from Momo for the first time in 7 years.

And god, it felt so good. The wait was worth it, you missed this cuddly and loving Momo you knew as a childhood friend.
-------------------------------
2 days have passed, you got introduced more to other TWICE members, and because of how you two interact and feel so comfortable to talk to each other... you became close with them already.

They were glad to find a new friend who just look at them as just a normal person rather than seeing them as idols, and they liked it so much. It made them really feel that they are also humans like everybody around them.

You also having time with Momo, living up to her word that she will include you on spending her free time. The more she's doing this, the more you're being positively sure that you will never ever gonna move on from her. She is and always be the one you will love truly, despite of the pains from the heartbreaking truth she slapped on you.

It is the last day of the MV shooting for SCIENTIST. During the break, you were just busy eating your food along with TWICE members this time, laughing at some topics that many of you are relate with.

The convo stopped when their manager called Momo about something.
"Momoring, he's here!", their manager said to Momo, pointing at the door where it shows a man holding some flowers and some box of god-knows-what.

Your eyebrows furrowed asking to yourself what's with all of those for?

All of your sights turned to him. Momo stood up and left you nine to approach that guy.

And it made you weak when you saw Momo being handed by a bouquet of flowers and that box.

That gave you an answer to your question.

He is Momo's suitor.

"Who's that?", you asked, your voice got a bit deeper.

"Oh, that's Kim Changwoon. Brother of Kim Sangwoon who is an idol an member from Go1ng Up.", Jeongyeon introduces him to you.

(A/N: Yup that group doesn't really exist in real life. I just made it up lol.)

"Really?"

"Yeah. Too bad, if his brother has a great personality... he's the opposite.", Nayeon clicked her tongue in disappointment.

"What do you mean?"

"Dahyun, tell him.", Nayeon commanded Dahyun who is beside her.

"One of my friends outside of industry became a part of his collection.", Dahyun starts her story. "She told me that he is treating women like trophies and toys... like when he finally gets his hands on them, he will slowly lose interest then he will look for another one again to play their feelings.

In short, he doesn't truly like the girls he gets. It's unknown to her how many exes he already had though... but with all of that, it's not right at all.", she said.

"That's why we despise that bastard.", Tzuyu said while giving a death glare at Changwoon who is talking with Momo.

"Language, Tzu.", the leader Jihyo warned her maknae. "Anyways, What Tzuyu meant is that.. we don't want him for Momo. Momo don't deserve a guy like him who's using her because she's popular. We tried to tell her about it but sadly... she won't listen.", she said, pointing her hand at Tzuyu.

"And why's that?"

"She doesn't believe what Dahyun's friend shared about.", Sana explained. "She thinks that he is not that bad and he's treating her nicely.", she looked at the two on the door after. "If only we have proof to show to her.", she said in a low tone.

"We really want to try convince Momo more but we don't want her to feel upset on us. She may think that we're holding her in control.", Mina said with her typical soft voice.

"But we're doing our best to finally capture that trash so that Momo can realize what kind of a person she's facing at.", Jihyo said, raising her voice a bit to express how frustrated she is seeing her friend getting manipulated by Changwoon.

"No I understand that. Thanks for the information by the way.", you flashed a flat smile. "Now I got curious about this guy, I can help you guys.", you said while looking at Changwoon.

"All I want too is for the best of my..... f-friend.", you stuttered at the end before you knew to yourself that it's not only the reason why you want to pull her away from Changwoon.

The girls nodded as they understand you, except for one of them who just rolled her eyes at the mention of the word "friend" then she returns back on eating.
---------------------------

The day before the celebration of TWICE's 6th anniversary, you went to a restaurant along with The School Meal Club trio: DubChaeTzu because of the punishment you got for losing to a bet. It was actually about the drama you four are watching.

Your guess is wrong while theirs are right so to face the consequences, they asked you to treat them at any restaurant you pick as long as it is well-known. You have no other choice but to follow the maknaes because this is the only escape anyways.

"Please wait for the orders to be served, thank you.", the waiter bowed his head and the three of you did the same as an appreciation. He walked away after, leaving the three of you to finally start a conversation.

"I will surely get my revenge next time.", you pointed at the mastermind behind this punishment: Son Chaeyoung.

"Try if you want oppa, but you know we ain't gonna let that happen right?", Dahyun said, giving you a smug look.

"Yeah, free food is life!", Chaeyoung exclaimed, forming her hands into a rock-and-roll hand gesture.

"Shall we make it even more intense next time? Loser will treat ALL the members?", Tzuyu asked with her evil grin plastered on her face.

Your eyes widened in shock. "WAIT WHAT? NO, THAT'S IT I'LL PASS.", you said, swaying your hands parallel at each other.

"Why no? You said you have plenty of money, remember?", Dahyun teased you. She went laughing after that.

"You're rich, Y/N. It's not a problem to you.", Chaeyoung said.

"Wow as if you guys ain't also just l-", your words got cut off when Tzuyu interrupted you, shushing to silence you, placing her index finger in front of her pointing lips.

"Ssh! Guys, uhm... you should look what I am looking at right now.", you three followed the direction where Tzuyu's sight at.

There, you saw two person on a table. A man and a woman, eating together.

And they both looked familiar.

Momo and Changwoon.

Momo looked so happy while talking to Changwoon. She even bursted in laughter, as if Changwoon shared a joke to her.

The two are really enjoying their time together.

Ofcourse, your heart slowly shattered into pieces, your chest felt like it didn't move to the beat. Your mood just dropped at the sight of the two.

You can't help but to let the tears form in eyes as they start to overflow.

"What? W-whe- Omg that's-", Dahyun was about to finish her words but Chaeyoung continued it instead.

"Momo-unnie! Wait, they are dating here? Wow, coincidence that we are going t- Y/N? Y/N?", Chaeyoung just noticed you walking out from your group's table to head outside the restaurant. Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu exchanges worried look at each other.

"What's wrong with him?", Tzuyu confusedly asked. They stood up from their seats, ignoring their orders completely because their priority right now is you.

They head outside of the restaurant to look for you. They saw you in your car, sitting in the driver's seat so they went inside, with Dahyun now sitting beside you. "Y/N what happened? Ar- wait, why are you crying?", Dahyun worriedly asked as he saw you covering your face, muffled sobs can be heard from you. She placed her hand on your back, rubbing it gently to calm you down.

"What's happening, oppa? Is there a problem?", Chaeyoung asked, leaning her face near behind you.

"The problem?", you tried to speak despite the fact that you're having difficulty keeping yourself still while crying. You removed your hands, revealing the tear stained messy face of yours. "There, inside. That's the answer.", you pointed at the restaurant outside.

"Oppa, y-you're jealous of them? So... you l-", Tzuyu seems to understand now what is going on with you, but still you didn't let her finish instead you knew it already what she's about to point to.

"I am. I love Momo, so much... and this stupid self can't even get enough of her.", you furiously poked your chest.

"I've been suffering in this pain for so long and I just don't understand why- why is my heart still choosing her. I can't take this anymore.", you said, sniffing between some of those words you said.

"You have feelings for Momo way back before?", Chaeyoung asked.

"Yeah, back at the time when she was preparing for audition to be a trainee at JYPE.", Dahyun lend you a tissue to wipe your tears and you accepted it. " I was there with her at all times, supporting her and inside me I started to developed this feelings for her that I couldn't control anymore. "

"I stopped fooling myself and there I accepted the fact that I- I'm really in love with her. It just sucks that she don't feel the same way.", you started to sob again, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu joined Dahyun on comforting you, with Chae patting your head while Tzuyu is on your shoulder.

"Oppa, it must've really hard for you to love someone for a long time whom you knew she will not love you back.", Dahyun said in a low tone. " I may not relate the same way but we knew for sure how it hurts so bad... and we're here to help you, okay"

"Just let it all out, it will help you feel better.", said Chaeyoung.

"I- i don't know why I didn't completely moved on from her when after I found out that she was dating an idol too.", you stared at the steering wheel, the tears flowing in your cheeks went slow this time. "She's just too special. Too unique, I guess. That she's the only one who make me feel this way that no one else can do the same, myabe that's the reason why I'm still into her... why I am not looking for many fishes in the sea."

"Funny how I'm enjoying torturing myself letting the painful reality just for the woman I would never have a chance with.", you chuckled crazily, slapping your lap.

"Let's go to the dorm, oppa. Comfort's way better to do in there. We won't mind the dare for now, what matters is that you need somebody to help you... and that's us.", Tzuyu said. You were about to refuse it at first but they won't stop offering you so you just let them instead. They took the orders are take-out instead and Dahyun switched her seat, now at the back with Tzuyu. You switched beisde the drivers seat while Chaeyoung took the wheel.

Minutes later, you four arrived at the dorm. The trio opened the door of their dorm and immediately called the rest to join you four. The 5 remaining members entered the School Meal Club's dorm and after they saw you with your reddish eyes and messy face.

They asked what happened and you just quickly cried again. Jihyo went to your side quickly, like a loving mom she is to her other members. Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu shared it all and after they understood what happened, they gave you advices one by one. You gratefully took it all because who are you anyways to mind off their help.

You just stayed there for 10 minutes and went home. It was a relief that you didn't met Momo on the way outside, because you don't want her to be curious. You even requested to the members to keep it to theirselves.

Meanwhile, 8 TWICE members are discussing about you, until Mina came up with a plan.
-------------------------------

The next day, you are directing their 6th Anniversary Celebration live. All the time you were pretending to be fine, masking up your pain as you're still unrecovered from last night. You were avoiding Momo's look at you because it just reminds you what you saw last night with DubChaeTzu.

After the end of the live, Momo teased you but you acting cold. You felt bad ofcourse, you didn't want to do it anyways but oh well your mood is affecting you that much. Good thing Momo didn't noticed your cold presence today.

Later in the evening, you got a call coming from Nayeon. You were curious why she called you so you answered it.

"Hi Y/N. We gotta admit, we were impressed by how you're able to show others like what happened to you last night is just nothing. As if you didn't cried like a baby.", Nayeon spoke fast already after you started the call.

"Let's cut to the chase, what is this for, Nayeon?", you asked her curiously.

"Mina, tell him.", you heard another voice from the background. You knew it wasn't Nayeons because it sounded more like Jihyo. Also, she's the only one who commands like that... mainly because she's the leader of the group.

"We come up with a plan and we need you for this Y/N.", Mina was the one who speaks through the phone this time.

"About what?", you asked, furrowing your eyebrows.

"W- we want you to make Momo fall in love with you instead.", your mind went blank after. You can't believe what Mina just said so you asked it again for clarification.

"D-did I h-heard you right?"

"You did, Y/N.", Jihyo said.

"Are you guys serious? I- I can't do this. It's not gonna work, I swear.", you said, chuckling while swiping your hand in the air. "Almost 8 years of chasing her feeling and did something happened magical? No. Present will have no difference like in the past, girls. Nice try but... no thank you."

"So you're just gonna let Changwoon make Momo as her newest addition to her collection?", Nayeon asked you.

"Just stop that.", you huffed. " We don't even know... maybe he finally changed. Also, he's making Momo having fun on his presence. I just can't ruin her happiness just because I want her to be... mine.", your lips are twitching as you felt yourself about to break down once again with the sudden drop of your emotions.

"Look at this, now tell me if you can still tell that he changed.", Jihyo said as she sent you something in your account. You looked up to it and there, it shows a picture of Changwoon with some two other girls about to enter a bar. The two women are clinging onto Changwoon's both arms.

"What the hell... w-when did you guys took this? ", you said while zooming even closer at the prick's face.

"We were going to Jeongyeon's house at that time, and at the exact moment we noticed Changwoon entering a bar along with two women on his arms.", Jihyo explained just like what you suspected as you looked in the picture. "It really seems that he had a great time at that night."

"That bar he's visiting in is just near at Jeongyeon's place.", Nayeon added.

"Now I ask you again, Y/N. Would you let Momo lend her heart on this playboy?", Mina asked you again. You keep on staring at Changwoon's face and you swear that your eyesight is going blurry and darker due to the burning anger you feel at this man.
How dare he come near at Momo being like that.

They were right, Momo don't deserve a guy right him. She deserves someone better, a man who would treat her right. A man who will surely give her everything: love, care, time and many more.

With the girls opinion, you are the only best option for that, especially because you are the closest one to Momo.

And now... thinking about all of it deeply, you're starting to finally make up your mind.

"Admit it, Y/N. You wanted this. It's your opportunity. We're giving you already this moment to shine. Show her and prove it what's better for her... and that is you!", Mina continued to encourage you up even more. It gave you more determination to do what is right. "So, are you in with the plan or not?"

Seven years, she rejected you... but that was in the past.

Trying something is always free to do, and you won't lost anything if you do it.

Now in the present, being on her side once again... you don't know if this Momo still feels the same as what she felt about you in the past.

The chance... you need to take it this time. She free and single.

You need to take your turn now before it's too late.

"Show her and prove it what's better for her... and that is you!". Those words by Mina echoed in your mind.

"Don't worry, Y/N, you got our back. We will make it easier for you. You deserve it, you went through a lot now.", Nayeon said, adding the strength of encouragement gave by Mina.

You finally stop deciding what to do, because now... you finally chose the best option.

"I- i.... I accept.", you finally said it, the one they've been wanting from you to say.

"I'm doing this because I love her so much. I'll get rid of the trash and I'm doing my best to win her heart this time. I never had an oppurtunity before, so I must do it at this time where I have one already. Whatever it takes."

"Finally. Go get her, Y/N!", Jihyo cheered for you. You can't help but to mumble how thankful you are to meet these girls in your life. It's been only weeks but you felt this strong bond with them.

"Thanks, girls. Appreciated it.", you ended the call. You placed your phone in your desk and then you sat at your bed. You inhaled and exhaled before going to sleep as you prepare for what's about to come for the plan to start tomorrow.

Meanwhile...
"You're a genius, Mina.", Nayeon said, standing up and pats Mina's shoulder before walking out of their dorm.

"Mission success.", Mina said, showing her proud gummy smile which Jihyo did the same.
------------------------------

More days have passed and yeah you started to perform the plan. You acted different this time to Momo. You became more sweet, caring, funny, hell... you're even giving her some slick moves as a tease. You also thank the girls again for keeping Momo's focus at you and not from Changwoon.

And it is improving, sometimes you noticed that Momo is being distant from Changwoon and rather be with you instead. That left Changwoon confused why Momo is like that but he just shrugged it away, thinking that maybe Momo is just too busy.

But ofcourse, that's not the main reason.Well, he had many girls. Why would he feel sad, sulk and disappointed if he still has many replacments or reserved women to play with.

Momo didn't even invited him on her birthday, but you were instead. Happiness overload indeed.

What you didn't know is that just before Mina came up with a plan and while Changwoon is courting her, she started to feel somethjng different from you. Almost a week after each other's reunion.

It's like... way more than a friend, like what you just feel for her.

She may be enjoying having time together with Changwoon but there's nothing any more than that. And when you started to act different from her, she just let herself go with flow with you. She's taking your attention and she's willing to give it to you.

And since she's enjoying it, it's not that hard for her to distance herself away from Changwoon sometimes because she didn't even liked him though. She's doing it just so that she can have time with you.

Back at the present, you are now inside their dorm, celebrating with the members on Momo's 25th birthday. You all did a karaoke session and now it is your turn to sing.

"It's your turn now, oppa! Sing for us pleaseee!", Sana said, giving you the mic while pouting.

"B-but I can't-"

"Liar, don't hide your great voice to them. Don't lie to me, I heard how well you sing before Y/N.", Momo said seriously. She also wants to hear you sing that's why she don't you to reject it.

"Alright, give me the mic.", Sana lets go of her hand as she finally gave it to you. Now, you were the one holding the microphone this time.

",Yeheyyy! Omg we're gonna see Y/N sing! Let us hear it!", Sana clapped in glee, as well as the other members. Momo even smiled at the sight of you clearing your throat as you looked at the songbook to choose the song you will sing.

After picking it, you pressed the numbers and saved it. You stood up, standing in the middle. Now you're facing all of them, which looks like you were there to perform in front of them.

"This is for you, birthday girl. I know how special this day is for you... so let me give you something special too. You'll love this.", you pointed at Momo which made her smile. She was really touched knowing you will dedicate a song for her.

Welcome back to you, indeed.

The title of the song starts to appear on the screen as the countdown starts to run out. As the voice from the karaoke finished counting 3..2...1, the music starts to play as you were about to sing "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John.

Momo immediately noticed it as all the nostalgia hits her. She remembers the first time she heard that song from you as you're singing it if you are bored. Then, it coincidentally happened that it was Momo's dad favorite song that he used to sing to her many times.

You loved to listen at this song because you think that the title suits her so well.

Back then, you were a boy who loves to listen to music and then sings as much as you want anx then one day you met her as a little girl who loves to dance... ended up building a friendship that lasted long until it was stopped when she left Japan for her dream.

Blue-jean baby, L.A. lady, seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed, pirate smile, you'll marry a music man
Ballerina, you must've seen her dancing in the sand
And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

Jesus freaks out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
Turning back, she just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad

Piano man, he makes his stand
In the auditorium
Looking on, she sings the songs
The words she knows, the tune she hums

But, oh, how it feels so real
Lying here with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly slowly

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

After you repeatedly sing the lyrics again for the second time, the song ended, earning you a loud round of applause from the girls. Momo was completely blushing, it felt so great to see you singing that again for her.

"Momo unnie is right! Wow you're talented, Y/N!", Dahyun said while clapping with her hands.

"Hehe, thanks.", then you went back at your seat. You looked at Momo which she did the same too, and both of you exchanged a smile at each other, not knowing that there's much more meaning those curves in each other lips you both showing.
-------------------------------
"Well yeah, so this is it. I have to go now.", you said after wiping your hands as you just finished washing the dishes.

You and Momo volunteered to clean up the leftovers. Jeongyeon was about to join but knowing about the plan, the girls just let the two of you instead.

You opened the door of their dorm, about to head out."Thank you so much for coming, Y/N. You don't know how it meant for me.", Momo said, caressing her arm.

"I will do everything for my friend.
Happy Birthday again, peach.", you said then you pinched her cheek. She got fluttered on what you did, but it hurt a bit too when you said the f- word.

Looks like she was way too late now. It was all gone already, she thought.

But she didn't care, she still initiated what she wanted to do. She then gave you a tight hug after. She will not let you be the one who will gave a heart fluttering gesture. "Have a safe way to home, Y/N."

"I-I... I w- I- will.", you stuttered. You waved goodbye at her. After she closed the door, she placed her hands on her chest, feeling the fast heartbeat she's having.

I can't believe this, I'm literally falling in love for my friend. she thought to her.

Meanwhile, you were squealing inside because of that skin to skin contact you had with Momo. You will never get tired locking yourself up on her arms.
------------------------------
The day before the SCIENTIST MV premiere, you arrived at JYP Entertainment to have a meeting with the staffs. While walking towards the elevator, you saw something in the end of the hallway.

It was Momo and Changwoon talking about something.

But it didn't felt right as you saw Momo's irritated face. It made you think that maybe Changwoon is disturbing her or something.

You continued to wach them until suddenly, you saw something that completely crossed the line for you.

Changwoon grabbed Momo's arms and tried to forcefully pull her for a kiss. Momo was fighting back, not wanting to give it to him.

You ran towards them and then you moved Changwoon away from Momo who is now getting uncomfortable.

"Hey! Can you leave her alone? Don't you see she's getting uncomfortable on what you're doing?", you madly saidto Changwoon who is fixing his sleeve.

"And who the fuck are you to stick your nose on others' business?", Changwoon then pushed you. You stepped backwards by the impact.

"I'm her friend and protector, so you better watch your damn mouth and don't you dare lay your hands on her again.", you gave her a warning sign by just staring at him as if you can clearly see his soul inside.

"I don't have time to confront you so better step aside as we talk more about us. Now, piss off.", he shoved you off aside as he was about to approach Momo again but you immediately blocked your arm at his way.

"No can do.", you shook your head.

"You really want the hard way do you?", he starts to clench his fist and pop the bones of his knuckles, signalling that he is ready to fight. Momo is getting worried now, not wanting to something worse about to happen next.

"Changwoon, stop! Just leave him alone, okay?"

"You don't want to do this.", you said to him.

He looked away for a second then he tried to gave you a huge blow out of nowhere but you caught it. You bumped his fist to his chest then pushed him through the wall, giving a pain on both his front and back. The employees in JYPE starts to notice you and Changwoon having a brawl so they immediately called for a security.

He then kicked you the gut and slammed his elbow at your back. He was about to throw you in the wall but you catched his leg and flipped him on the floor. The guards arrived early and separated you two from each other.

"This isn't over yet! Screw you for ruining my moment!", Changwoon angrily said while he is being grabbed by the guards to kick him out of the building.

You didn't have any more time to argue with him so you quickly checked on Momo who is silent but the worried expression can be seen on her face.

"Are you okay?", you asked her, holding her arms and lifted it.

"N-nothing.", she shook her head. "I should be the one asking you that.", she then placed her hand on your torso, she can feel the hard pecs of your body. She was blushed by this but she didn't mind it, all she cared about right now is what you just did for her.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry.", you gave her an assuring smile. Changwoon's kick is a no joke, mostly because the shoe he's wearing is pointed and it hit directly at the bone of your rib cage. Good thing it didn't fractured your bone.

"Good to hear you're okay too.", then after that, an employee informed you that JYP wants to see you ASAP on his office. You saw the other members of TWICE coming at your way. "Now stay here while I talk to JYP.", you said to Momo. The girl reached you two. They were about to ask what happened but you didn't mind it for a while because the boss wants you for a talk right now.

"Girls, join her for a while please.", yiu left them and walked hurriedly through the elevator. While on your way to JYP's office, the girls checked on Momo.
-------------------------
20 minutes later, you stepped out of JYP's office. You return back at the spot where you left them but they aren't there so you went next at the place where they are usually staying in this building: the dance practice room.

And you were right, they were there but Momo was waiting for you outside. She ran ahead through you and gave you a crushing hug, placing her face just near at your collarbone.

"Y/N... I just want to say thank you so much... for what you did earlier. I shouldn't give her chance to court. If only I knew he was a-",

"Hey, Momo don't worry it's okay.", you patted her back gently.

"Atleast you finally know the truth and you admit the mistakes you did. You know I will do anything for you, right? I will not let anything happen to you because you're my-"

"Bestfriend, yeah I know.", Momo cutted you off, releasing herself from the hug. She looked up to you but with frown on her face. "...but, am I too late now, Y/N?"

"What?", your eyebrows furrowed.

"I know this is shocking but... Y/N, I like you. I don't want you to look at me just as a friend.", she said, lowering her look at you. Your eyes blinked repeatedly, trying to process what did she just said to you. Did she really confessed? And you are so puzzled to make yourself believe that this is true.

You knew Momo rejected you before because he didn't liked you too but... what's happening right really turned a lot of tables. You can't believe that all of what you were thinking about while Nayeon, Jihyo and Mina told you about the plan is all coming together now and is about to give you the best memory of your entire life so far.

"Now I understand why I feel something lacking on what Changwoon is giving to me. I can't find on him that something I was looking for... because all I was searching for, I found it on you. Like I said, you were a whole package and a true ideal man for any girls out there. I never thought that there will be a time that I will finally fall for you, Y/N... and now here I am... telling you this.",

"I'm sorry if I never gave you a chance before.", she started to cry as her sniffs can be heard from her now. With this sight you can't help but to feel your heart is slowly tearing apart because first of all you really don't want her looking like this. "If only I let myself became yours way back 7 years ago. If only I feel the same for you at that time.
I shouldn't left you brokenhearted Y/N. I shouldn't made you wait for so long.I regret it. I regret it so much. I wasted the opportunity. If only I could love y-", her sobs are getting louder so you wanted her to stop already so you cupped her cheek and then wiped the tears on her eyes using your thumb.

"Stop it. You should stop now, Momo.", you said breathily. You cleared your throat as you sensed that your voice is a bit shaky now, controlling your emotions. "Don't blame yourself on everything. I also have fault here, not only you. Im still in love with you, Momo. I do. Time passed but nothing changed, and I'm still into you.", her eyes widened as she gasps from what you just said. The black orbs of her eyes went all glittery and shiny while she astoundedly stared at you while you pour your heart onto her too.

"I took so much pain and suffering believing to the fact that you and I will never be together... but I didn't stop because I just can't get enough of you."

"Now here we are. Who knew that one day will come that this will all turn out unreal. So don't cry, okay? All that matters now is that we finally know you and I both love each other... and I will prove to you that I am the one who is right for you."

"I love you, Hirai Momo. Always and forever."

"I will never gonna need nobody's love because all I need is yours.", you placed some strands of her hair behind her ear as you said those words in a low tone.

After you finally confessed to her too, she didn't waste any more time as she pulled your head on hers to connect each others lips, sealing it all with a kiss made with pure love. You two gave a gap at each others faces and breathes for a second to calm each other down.

"You have my trust, Y/N. I love you too. Thank you and I'm sorry for everything. I will repay you the same, I promise.", she holds your hands and squeezed it gently.

"The kiss... wow, it was...magical.", you chuckled. She laughed at it too, because she can't deny that it is true.

"Yeah, it is.", Momo said, nodding her head. Her expression changed again from joy to sadness. "Anyways, what happened in there? D-did JYP sunbaenim asked you to leave n-now?"

"Actually, no.", you snapped your fingers. "He heard my story and after that he didn't scold me actually because I was just protecting you, Changwoon started it anyways. He even made me as your group's personal content director because there was like... something happened from your group's previous director, I guess?", you shurgged your shoulders. "So from now on it means.......... I ain't going nowhere. You and I will always be on each other's side from now on, and we will spend our time together so well.", you cupped her cheeks again.

"Glad to know you are.", and then, you two went for a hug again, both grateful for this fresh start of this new relationship with your childhood friend turned girlfriend and maybe... soon to be your wife in the future, Hirai Momo.
------------------------------
The day has come. It is now officially the start of their new era as their comeback SCIENTIST along with its album and music video all will be about to released today.

As their new personal director, you will once again directing their live today.

While waiting for the time to start the live, you were talking with the girls who are just chilling out beside the set. They were all dressed up with their "Study" version attire, looking like a college science professors.

"I really can't believe my plan worked.", Mina said while tapping her heels on the floor.

"So all of you were on Y/N's side all along huh?", Momo snorted then smirked after.

"You should thank us for that.", Jihyo said. You gave Momo a thumbs up, showing that you agree with what Jihyo said.

"I am.", then she clinged on your arm. You placed the side of your head on her crown.

"Well then, let's go to the set now cuz the boyfie's is here anyways. Let's not disturb a lovey dovey moment between these two honeybunches.", Jeongyeon teasily said and even pushed your shoulders, making you bump even closer at Momo. All of you went cringed at how Jeongyeon said that last word but she just laughed it off.

Ahh, the pranking/teasing queen on TWICE herself.

After they went through the set, Momo removes herself from leaning at the wall. You faced her to look at her, tracing every side of her appealing face. "Hey, you ready?"

"As always."

"Good.", you nodded. Then you looked at her from head to toe, appreciating her alluring look. " Dang, you look really good in professor outfit. If you're my teacher, I will never going to be absent."

She laughed while blushing, shaking your arm playfully. "Silly, Y/N. Well, if you're my student then I will never going to get tired teaching. ", she then traced her finger on your jawline. You gulped hardly because you admit that what Momo's doing right now is freaking sedictive. "I would love to even give you a high grades... if you will just be a good student for me.", she smirked.

"Oh yes I will, maam.", you rolled your eyes as your snorted at your remark. After that short fun you two are having, your expression changed, biting your lip as you felt anxious immediately. Momo noticed that also.

"Is there something wrong?"

"I hope the fans will like what I did to the MV.", you gave her a small smile then you sighed.

"Believe in ONCEs like I do. They will surely like it. Trust me.", she grasped your hand then intertwined her fingers with yours. With that assuring smile she gave at you, it calmed you down slowly.

You checked the time on your watch. 3 minutes remaining. before the start of the live. "Yes, I do.", you gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"Alright, now let's get into work.", you two both walked across the set as you two went to each respective positions. Her in front of the camera with her other TWICE members while you on behind, guiding them on what they should do during the live.

-🍑-
